EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable piece of history - a Memorial bracelet from the early 19th century. Crafted with exquisite diamonds, gold, and even strands of hair, this bracelet is a testament to the sentimental value placed on personal mementos during that era. Believed to have been given by Arthur, 1st Duke of Wellington, to his niece Lady Emily Wellesley-Pole (later Lady Raglan), this bracelet has an intriguing story behind it. Passed down through generations, it now resides in a private collection as a cherished heirloom. The intricate design features baton links leading up to a circular clasp adorned with old cut diamonds. The clasp also contains a glazed compartment holding strands of hair - perhaps belonging to someone dear who had passed away. On the reverse side, an engraving reads "Marquis of Wellington" along with the year 1813. This stunning photograph captures every detail and allows us to appreciate the craftsmanship and sentimentality embodied in this Georgian-era jewel. It serves as a reminder of how jewelry was not only seen as adornment but also as precious keepsakes commemorating loved ones or significant moments in history. With its rich history and undeniable beauty, this Memorial bracelet stands as both an artistic masterpiece and an intimate connection to the past.
